we want to go now to susan collins from maine, senator susan collins, speaking after her meeting with ambassador rice. >> -- with ambassador rice. i still have many questions that remain unanswered. i continue to be troubled by the fact that the u.n. ambassador decided to play what was eventually a political role at the height of the contentious presidential election campaign by agreeing to go on the sunday shows to present the administration's position. in addition, it is interesting to me that ambassador rice emphasized in her presentation not that this was a terrorist attack by al queda affiliates but rather that it had begun with a protest that we now know was nonexistent and that it was linked to a video which we also know is not accurate. at the time that ambassador rice made these assertions, there was conflicting evidence that it's true. bewe had the president of libya saying that 50 people had been arrested, that people -- terrorists from other countries had come to libya, and that the attack was premeditated and planned. i asked ambassador rice why she did not qualify her co
